ART BOOK LIBRARY 2019SEOUL

This exhibition starts with the story of ‘body’. Book curators from five countries have collected more than 130 art books on the subjects of ‘me’, ‘you’ and ‘them’. The first planning intention was to look at the multi-layered image of Asian women as a Western hitter in a book. Surprisingly, however, the five book curators scan their bodies with different eyes. This includes freedom of expression and the ultimate visual language, ranging from the body, the industrialized work body, and issues of identity such as race, gender, and feminism in Asian cultures. As the theme of this exhibition covers ‘body’, the power of physical properties of the book is also attractive. I encourage you to open your five senses, not just your eyes.
